The Best Lawyers in America in the field of personal injury
litigation. He has been repeatedly voted as an Indiana Super Lawyer

White was allowed to return to school despite his illness. Their efforts
led to a change in the law and ultimately to the enactment of the Ryan
White Act and helped to lessen discrimination against AIDs victims across the
country. Mr. Vaughan Sr., also received the Lifetime Achievement Award
in 1998
from the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association.

Charley Jr., spending time with his grandchildren, and with his family.
"I have always marched to my
own drummer. Some have called me a maverick. To me, this has always been a
compliment. I, and the generation of Vaughan lawyers before me, have
strived to be leaders, not followers. This is what I offer to our
clients and it has served them and our firm well."
